Guess I will take a stab at it. Do you sit really still while doing Simran? Are any muscles in the head/neck/back kept somewhat stiff? What posture are you in? Could be posture/position related?

Might just be muscke stiff? Or something lol

Here is a bit from S. Raghbir singh "Bandgi Nama"

While we are engaged in Simran, there are, at times, low and gentle tapping sounds in the brain. They must not frighten us, because they are signs of our progress on the spiritual plane. In fact, with more experience, these taps prove to be sources of great joy. After every tap, there rises a wave of mental peace; the nerves and brain cells thus assume their natural poise. When for the first time the late Sant Gurbakhsh Singh Ji, of Jabbowal (Amritsar), told me of this phenomenon, I was unable to make any comment. But when I had this experience myself and enjoyed it immensely, I recollected what he had said. He was a high-souled Mahatma and was leading a life of Simran and missionary work. I met him for the first time when I had just appeared for the B.A. examinations. He remarked, “Do not worry about examination results. You will get through. Go on with your Simran, and some day you will taste of its sweet fruit.”

Was trying to go to much down the spiritual path - wanted to rule out the phyical possibilities first. As stated above, if it is something that is causing some anand and directly related to the Simran practice, that is a product of Simran (though the above seems to be something that would take place during Simran). Reason I suspect physical is that you state it is from doing Simran a long time, then getting up to do Ardaas and then it happens. Not unusual for the body to do stuff when you have sat in one position for a long time, change that position and it does things due to the change in position.

I totally agree with what you are saying here.

The above reference from bhai Raghbir's book is about nternal activity during simran as one goes in very deep within one self.

As you describe....... getting physical sensations after simran is most probably due to sudden blood rush when changing position of body.

Sometimes you get a build up of mucus, ear wax. It could be anything really, best to get it checked by doc to rule out any medical symptoms.
